- 1. CRIMINAL CASES- — Bail, by Whom Taken. Courts have inherent power to take bail or recognizance in a criminal case, but clerks have such power only when it is fconferred upon them by statute. 2. SAME — Power of Clerks. Our statute does not authorize the clerk of the district court to take bail in a criminal case, and hence a bail bond taken by him is void. (Syllabus by the Court.)
